It's really a headache to have my strength reduced by half. Now I can't even defeat an ordinary jounin. I can only be considered a special jounin, or even an elite chuunin. The most terrible thing is that the amount of chakra and the speed of chakra recovery are both low.
It has been reduced by half, which makes me unable to use many powerful ninjutsu. However, fortunately, due to some unknown reasons, the Sharingan I transplanted can be closed, so I don’t have to consume a lot of chakra for no reason like Kakashi did.
It can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, but it is not a blessing.
In addition, I also lost my Qingfeng sword. It was probably put away by Obito or Nagato, and I won't be able to get it back in a short time. It's really a disaster that never comes singly.
However, these are nothing compared to losing Xiaoxue, they are simply insignificant. During the past few months while I was recovering at home, I would look at the moon every night, and my heart ached.
"Xiaoxue..." At night, I feel so heartbroken that I can't breathe. Every time, I have to rely on alcohol anesthesia to fall asleep.
The injury should have been healed in three months, but because of my confusion and drinking to drown my sorrows, the injury kept getting worse and recurring. It took half a year to fully heal.
After I recovered, Sandai was worried about my condition and gave me another half-year leave. During this half-year, there would be no C-level or higher tasks. He also temporarily stopped Kakashi's mission as a ninja instructor and also gave me half-year leave.
, come and help me practice.
To put it nicely, it is to help me practice. In fact, it is just because I am afraid that I will not be able to think clearly and do something stupid, and I want to relieve my heart knot. However, the pain of losing a beloved lover is not so easy to forget.
Besides, Koyuki's Sharingan reminds me all the time that she has left me.
"Back then, the Third Generation asked me to accompany Kakashi to help him dissolve the darkness in his heart. I didn't expect that it would be the other way around now. It's really ridiculous." I laughed at myself, leaning on the wooden mannequin in the training ground, showing no fighting spirit.
"Black Sound, why has your strength dropped so much?" Kakashi looked at my training results and frowned, "Now you, let alone Minato-sensei, are even worse than Kai and I.
Quite a bit. How did you become like this?"
Yes, how could I become like this? In fact, the side effects of the splitting technique are only superficial effects, and more importantly, they are on my psychology.
"Perhaps I am destined to be a waste." I smiled bitterly. "If I can't protect my best friends, my lover, and my enemies, I will be a complete loser."
"What happened to Shisui and Huaxue is not your fault. Don't blame yourself, Heiyin. You should cheer up. Their spirits in heaven don't want you to be like this." Kakashi advised me earnestly,
But there was no fluctuation in my heart.
I understand the logic, but...
At this moment, the sound of throwing shurikens came from not far away.
Whoosh! Snap! Whoosh! Snap! Whoosh!
Judging from the sound, the thrower's technique was very poor. Not to mention hitting the bull's-eye, the shurikens couldn't penetrate the target at all. They just kissed the target and fell to the ground one after another.
"Damn it! I won't admit defeat!" A childish voice came into my ears, "I can definitely do it!"
The voice sounded familiar, so I slowly stood up and walked towards the direction from which the voice came.
What caught his eye was a little boy with yellow hair, about eight or nine years old, with three whiskers on each side of his face. Who else could he be if he wasn't little Naruto?
Little Naruto was throwing shurikens hard, sweating profusely, but none of them hit the target, and they all fell to the ground in front of the target.
Little Naruto was not discouraged. Instead, he repeated an action very persistently. After throwing the shuriken, he picked it up and continued to throw it.
I didn't disturb him, I just stared at him blankly.
I don't know how long it took, but finally, a shuriken successfully hit the target. Although it was in a very marginal position, it was a great encouragement to little Naruto.
Bang bang bang bang! I couldn't help but applaud him.
"Brother Heiyin!" When little Naruto saw me, he immediately threw away his shuriken, ran towards me excitedly, and said angrily, "Brother Heiyin, you haven't seen me for a long time."
"Sorry, I've been busy lately. I just returned to Konoha not long ago." I apologized and touched Naruto's little head.
"It's okay, it's okay. Brother Heiyin, thank you for your hard work. I'll treat you to Ichiraku Ramen." Little Naruto said in an old-fashioned way, with his hands on his waist.
"Forget it, you have no income, let me treat you, I accept your wishes." I touched Naruto's head again, then looked back at Kakashi not far away, his eyes narrowed
It turned into a crescent moon, smiled and nodded at me, and then disappeared with a bang.
"Then let's go." I took little Naruto's hand and walked towards the village, and asked as I walked, "Naruto, why are you working so hard? You will be exhausted from practicing like this."
"Because I want to become Hokage. Only by improving my strength and letting everyone recognize me can I become Hokage." At the mention of Hokage, little Naruto's eyes sparkled.
It seems that little Naruto has grown up a lot. He has understood that it is not the person who becomes Hokage who can be recognized by everyone, but the person who is recognized by everyone can become the Hokage.
"Then what motivates you to persist?" I continued to ask.
Little Naruto said without thinking: "Speak directly, this is my nindo. Becoming Hokage is my dream, and I will not give up. Besides, Brother Heiyin, you told me that I will definitely succeed, because
I am Uzumaki Naruto!"
After listening to Naruto's words, I fell into deep thought. (To be continued)
